# bio (long form, separated for readability)
bio: |
  Born Artemius, he ruled from 713 to 715, reversing his predecessor's Monothelete patriarch appointment and restoring Orthodoxy by naming Germanus I to Constantinople — a bid to win Pope Constantine's support. He worked to fortify the empire and build stability, but was deposed by Theodosius III in 715 during a campaign against the Umayyad Caliphate. In 719 he launched a rebellion against Leo III the Isaurian, backed by Tervel of Bulgaria's soldiers and funds. When he failed to breach Constantinople, the Bulgarian forces handed him over to Leo at the emperor's request. Anastasius and his fellow rebels were executed that same year.
